[Magisk v17.3] help needed.

Hi!
So this is my first post on xda, so please be nice
I rooted my Samsung s8 sm g950f with ambasadii, and running magisk.
When I first flashed the rom everything went ok. The first time I entered the Magisk Manager app there was a note that said that I can update the manager app to v18.1. When opened the app got a message that the app was unsupported by magisk manager. So I flashed the rom again and just didn't updated the manager app. That's one problem, here is the next one.
When I enter my banking they use a 2 step verification system. I have to go to the phone and enter a code that verifies the login. Now since I've rooted the phone I can't use it, is there any solution to this problem? The banking app does not support either a rooted phone. One of the reasons I rooted with magisk is the Magisk Hide. But I don't think it is working for me . The verification goes through the sim card.
Let me know if you need some more info to help me solve this problem!
PS: I am new to rooting
Thanks!

Welcome to XDA, Magisk and root world.
Quick tips:
Every time before trying the problematic app again, under Android settings/app, stop it and clean its cache and data. Even better to unistall it, reboot, install it again from play store. Even better before reboot go to recovery mode and wipe cache, dalvik (only those!).
Hide Magisk Manager (=repack it with a random name). You do that on Magisk Manager settings menu. After that its visible name will be only Manager (on your app drawer).
read everything here, special attention to SafetyNet and hiding other rooting tests apps may use:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/HomePage
install MagiskHide Props Config module and use its improve hiding settings: (available for download on the Dowload menu of Magisk Manager)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-magiskhide-props-config-t3789228
Try updating Magisk/Manager to 18.1/7.0 (last stables):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Do backups and try updating to last Canary builds. Read last posts on its thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/dev-magisk-canary-channel-bleeding-edge-t3839337
Maybe the module ShellHide works better than standard Magisk Hide on your device, I don't know. Read thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/magisk-shellhide-t3855616
For general Magisk support, usually better search and ask for help on official support thread:

SOLVED [issue] Magisk module download error & SafetyNet API error

Hi, im running Android 10 with OneUI 2.5 rooted by Magisk v.21 on my Samsung Galaxy NOTE 10 Lite,
Root is working correctly, i have root access for donated FDE.AI, X-Plore file manager and etc..
Im using few Magisk modules, like Viper4Android and they works well too.
But, any atempt to download or install Magisk module from its own online reposirory ends with "Error downloading file", and atempt to check SafetyNet status gives me "SafetyNet API error" afzer hiting Ok to download SafetyNet API...
I searched on google, and here on the forum for similar problems, but i found topics from 2017 year (outdated)
Can anyone hp me solve this prob please?

Both those issues (module download error and SafetyNet API error) suggest that there are Internet connection problems.
There's been a couple of similar reports, but those have usually been fixed by clearing data for, or reinstalling the Manager.
Also make sure that you don't have any firewall rules or similar that might be restricting internet access for the Manager.

Thx for respone. I tried to delete Managers cache and App data too, nothing changes. I also tried to reinstall App, but no change.
About internet connection, yesterday I had to downgrade Magisk from v.21 beta to v.20.4 stable for unexpected random reboots 5times a day.. I done that in Magisk Manager App, selecting "Direct install (recommended)". Magisk downloaded necessery files without any problem and flashed it.
And, i dont use any third party security apps (antivirus, firevall).
So, any idea? After downgrade magisk reboots solved, here reported issue no.

No idea. A logcat might show what's up:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHelp

Heres my logcat, filters: level error, keyword magisj

Heres my new logcat, printed at error level verbose, filtered by keyword magisk.
I see only one problem, file permission (write permission), but where magisk wont write? Im able seriously give 777 permissions to this folder ?
Or did anybody see anything else?..
For now, nothing changes in my phone configuration.. FW version the same as in 1. Post, magisk v 20.4, actual stable magisk manager.. I also tried canary magisk manager, but the canary version wont load module list and crashed down at all, including UI.

I have not had any opportunity to look at your log (and the new one won't download since it seems like the XDA attachments server is acting up again, good thing there's a new one on the way).
But, that the Canary Manager will crash when you try to access the modules list is yet another sign that your issue is that the Manager cannot get an internet connection (that's a currently known bug).

Thx u for your time . So, its known bug, but is there some way to solve it and get magisk manager functional? Or its not a global issue and its not specific to each user

It's a known issue that the Manager will crash when you enter the modules download section without an internet connection. It's not a common issue that the Manager can't get a connection at all.
I still suspect that there's something on your device that is blocking internet access for the Manager somehow.

Have the same problem.Magisk Manager 8.0.2 on Android 9,Magisk is working fine,but i become no update info for modules and i cant download any module,but 3 days ago all was ok,weird.

I think, that is not any app blocking magisk internet connection. The last stable mahisk manager dont have any problem to load online module list, and download of magisk core is aleays possible, as install ing core too....
But, i dont have time right now for test it, it is possible to reboot to safe mode and there run magisk?

I still cant understand that some app blocking magisk internet connection...
Look at my screenshot of magisk manager latest stable version, the connection working, magisk showing modules wich got updated today......

Sorry, but i still hope, that magisk manager do not have internet connection error, in screen, he knows about the module updated version, but it still wont download..
Im ready for N770FXXU6CTJ2 update, im going to flash it right now... Im confused of magisk support,

Is that last one with the Stable or Canary Manager? There seems to be something weird going on, and there have been some similar reports.
I suggest that you switch over to Canary again (Magisk and Manager) and grab a verbose logcat when you have connection issues. Upload that to a new GitHub issue where you also make sure to give all possible details as to what works and don't work on the stable Manager contra what works and doesn't work on the Canary Manager.
That way, better eyes than mine might be able to take a look at it and see if there is indeed something going on.
Nevermind... See below.

I solved reported issue on my device...
The reason is, Lucky Patcher and blocking ads on device...
I opened LP, opened Toolbox/Block Ads and pressed Clear local hosts file... Now everything is working fine...

Ok... Nice to know I wasn't wrong. :good:
Sad to see that app being used...

I'm having an issue also with passing safetynet on Razer Phone 2 (Cheryl 2). Rooted with Magisk 22.1 and TWRP arter Kernel. Had a rough time getting the "new" all-in-one Magisk installed properly. I'm using adfree for an adblocker. I've cleared the hosts file and rebooted MANY times, to no avail. Thinking I may need to uninstall Magisk and go back to 20.4 and install the old Magisk Mgr. app. Any help would be appreciated. If you need log files, let me know. I DO have root as Ti Backup, ROM Toolbox, adfree all have root access.

Stuck after update

Device: SM-N950F
Android version: 9
Magisk version name: com.topjohnwu.magisk
Magisk version code: 22,1 (22100)
Well I believe this is an alien thing going on.
Magisk was working fine.
I just had a notification to update Magisk in the notifications bar.
I simply accepted, something showed downloading and then nothing happened.
So I just then went to check Magisk. I opened it and I chose to install latest 22.1 (22100) (20) App.
Well it downloads, I install it succesfully but then Magisk manager (already hidden and renamed) doesn't open.
It just shows a message "Magisk Manager: Upgrade to full Magisk Manager to finish the setup. Download and install?" I press OK , it downloads for some seconds something and then it shows a toast message "Please manually re-launch the app".
I re-launch Magisk Manager and get again "Magisk Manager: Upgrade to full Magisk Manager to finish the setup. Download and install?"...
A continuous loop in other words with no successful outcome.
Now:
Some apps that require root still work
A banking app is still working, another sees rooted and stops
Rootchecker app shows "root access is not properly installed"
Root check app shows "rooted"
In other words a big fat mess!
I strongly fear that If I reboot the device I will lose all remaning root capabilities. Correct???
I think of flashing with TWRP "Magick 22.zip" but then this may mean fresh rooting and ALL data will be lost. Correct???
Thank you all in advance, God bless you!

No reply! Smells bad!!

Today I will restart device.
Fingers crossed (nandroid backup + all data of SD card to PC + TitaniumBackup)!

I restarted it today.
It loaded OK and some banking app that was seeing root now just works fine.
Magisk Manager still doesn't open and I am worried to flash Magisk22.zip because I may lose data and can't handle the hassle to restore all settings etc.
Very weird situation.

request rejected, no prompt to grant access

heeeeey!
old magisk user, it was working like a charm on my galaxy s20, but lately something broke!
I have installed Magisk version 97b72a59 (20419)
and magisk manager version 8.0.7 (4834)
When I open an app that requires root access, nothing happens, and after a while, i get the toast message that denied superuser rights.

Install root checker app and check if it prompts you for root access, else magisk is configured to always reject root access in magisk settings

As expected, root checker app reports "Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device."
On magisk manager settings, i have set "automatic response" to "grant" instead of "prompt" but nothing changed.
any other options?

@sakis_the_fraud You see that broken pipe in your log? That suggests you're seeing an issue that was present in builds around v21 and fixed in v21.4.
I suggest you update to a more recent Magisk release instead of trying to troubleshoot further...

The reality is that I'm trying not to mess a lot with these just to be safe!
OK so If I got it correctly, i should do these steps:
select uninstall from magisk manager app,
reboot
and then "Patch the boot (Kernel) image via Magisk" as described in Stage 6 of the link?
any precautions and measures that i should take in order to avoid or minimize failure?

No matter how you choose to update, there's always a risk of failure. Only way to minimise any damages is to make sure you have a backup of any important data before updating.
You should be able to do a direct update in the Magisk app (but since you're jumping a few versions it's a very good idea to have that backup ready). Only thing to mind is that the update to v22+ requires you to not have the Magisk app repackaged with a random name, so make sure you've restored that before updating. This should be the easiest way of doing things...
If you're on the Canary channel (since you have a Canary release installed now), keep in mind that the current Canary (23014) has some major changes from previous Magisk versions. The Hide list has been replaced with a Deny list and there's now a new feature: Zygisk (it's very similar to Riru, if you know that that is). If you're not ready for those kind of changes yet, make sure to be on the stable update channel...
If you don't want to do a direct update the linked guide should work.

Ohhhh I see!
There are major changes listed on the changelog...
I found the "magisk_patched.tar" that I have used on my initial installation, do you believe that if i could flash it will solve this problem?
It's clear that I don't want the latest, i want the one working with minimal risk because I found out that i haven't installed TWRP at all

If that patched file is from an earlier release of Magisk, and you want to use that version, it's probably best to uninstall Magisk and flash that.
If you want a newer release you can either just choose the stable update channel and do a direct update to v22.1 (you'll be able to update to v23 after that), or you can download the v21.4 zip from GitHub and install that zip from the module section of the Magisk app.
You've got many options. Only you can decide what's best for you...

When i select uninstall i get two options "restore images" and "complete uninstall" what should i choose in order to keep my data?
If i go with the direct update to v22.1, then will i have to flash something? this is "safer"?

No worries.
To avoid incompatibilities between different Magisk versions you'd have to do a complete uninstall. If you do the direct update you don't have to do anything else then pick "Update" in the Magisk app and then "Direct install".
To say if one or the other is safer is hard to say since there quite a few variables that come into play. Doing an uninstall might cause issues if you've previously disabled encryption, as an example. On the other hand there might also be issues when doing a direct install.
Personally I would go for a direct install, but make sure that I have my firmware's/ROM's unpatched boot image at hand so I can install that and get my device up and running again without any further damage (hopefully). Magisk only alerts the boot image (or in some cases recovery image), which makes it very safe and easy to revert if there are problems. You rarely end up with an irreparable loss unless you start trying to fix stuff without actually knowing what you're doing.

I made it!
I finally went with direct install as it appears to be less disruptive, first it updated the app, then I selected "direct install (recommended)". Afterwards it started to patch ramdisk, repacked and flashed the image. One reboot later and the root status is back! I really missed my adblock!!!
thank you for your help!

Magisk appears to be installed but no root

Hi
I have magisk installed but my phone is reporting not rooted.
My setup:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 7
Ressurection remix
Magisk 23.0
Things I've tried:
Disabled battery optimisation for magisk app
Reinstalled magisk a couple of times from twrp
Other root requiring apps (no change)
I've attached the logs from Root Checker, magisk and snip of my magisk. Please let me know if there is more info I can provide.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

re-flashing latest stable magisk.zip with the custom recovery then reboot to system and open the magisk wait to downloading requested resources and see..

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
I just downloaded this and flashed it with twrp: https://magisk.me/
Rebooted and found the same issue. Any other ideas?

1 - Don't use that website. The only place for verified and safe Magisk downloads is on John's Github:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk
2 - Exactly what is it that's reporting that your device isn't rooted? Because Magisk quite clearly says it is, according to your screenshot...

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
Okay so I went to Git and downloaded this file https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v23.0/Magisk-v23.0.apk I then renamed it to .zip and flashed it via TWRP. Is this correct?
When I reboot I find the same situation. Magisk appears installed correctly however no app can access root. No popup appears to accept/reject the su request and apps behave as if no root access. I've tried Root Checker, Titanium Backup and am happy to try any others.
Do you have any suggestions please on what else I can try?
Cheers

Ah... So the problem is not that you do not have root access The problem is that there's no superuser prompt when an app requests root.
IIRC there's a Xiaomi settings to allow apps to display popup messages (should be under app permissions). The Magisk app also need to be allowed to auto start. Of course, this is for MIUI and you're using RR so I have no idea if there is such a setting on your device currently...
Could of course be something completely different though.

Yes I suspect this is the issue - the notification is being blocked somehow.
Under app settings -> Magisk, I believe the settings are right:
Battery optimisation = off
Notifications = all allowed
There are plenty of guides out there of using RR with Magisk and no mention of any special settings to make it work.
I am also using nova launcher, I wonder if this could affect the notification somehow?
All suggestions welcome!
Cheers

I noticed in Magisk under the Superuser tab, it just says "no app has asked for superuser permission yet." So perhaps not a notification issue after all?
I downloaded another app, "root checker basic". It also generated no popup, said I do not have root, and nothing appeared in the Magisk logs.
I feel like I am doing something wrong here but missing what it is.

One thought: make sure that nothing is restricting the Magisk app from autostarting and running in the background.
Also, have you checked with other users of your ROM? Might be a good place to get help for stuff like this...

This happened to me before. I had to rename the same zip to "uninstall.zip" and flash it, reboot, and then rename the zip to something else like Magisk.zip and flash again.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried this but no change afterwards unfortunately.
Also good idea @Didgeridoohan, I will cross post this on the forum for RR.

extract the boot.img and copy to phone. in Magisk, install and pick boot.img. copy the result file to pc, and flash using fastboot flash boot magi....img
if unlocked bootloader, flash direct and reboot.
